My foreskin doesn't retract, and it sometimes hurts while urinating. what should I do?
Asked by Male, 38 · 3 months ago
A foreskin that won't pull back and causes pain while peeing usually means it is too tight. Warm baths and slow stretching can help, but don't force it. If the discomfort keeps coming back, visit a urologist for proper treatment, such as a topical cream or a minor corrective procedure.
